If it is in the man's name, then the man is legally obliged to pay it.
The wife is responsible as she was the one who signed the credit contract.
no
IF you transfer the title and loan out of your name you are not responsible. IF NOT, and they don't make the payments, or have insurance on it, YOU are responsible for all aspects of the vehicle as you still OWN it. the name on the title & loan is the responsible party.
No. A cosigner is just responsible for paying it off if the negligent driver wrecks it and and can't work to make the payments.
no
It will hold up in court BUT that will not stop the repossession. The lending company does not and should not care where the money comes from. They made a loan in good faith and they expect to be repaid the same way. If you can afford to keep the payments up to date you can sue your ex for the payments you make. Or have your lawyer file a comtempt motion to compel your ex to pay. Good Luck!
No. You are not entitled to a refund if you made payments toward the purchase of a vehicle. In truth, if you signed a contract to purchase the vehicle, that vehicle is now secondary to the contract, you could still be held responsible for the balance of the loan, whether or not you still have the vehicle.
If its in your name (and the car was NOT awarded to him in the divorce decree) you could go to the police and report it stolen. If in your divorce decree it says he's supposed to pay for the car then you could take him to court because it will show up on YOUR credit if he's not paying.
you don't. you get the vehicle and the payments.
Yes they can because right now you show as being the responsible party. You will either need to go to court and have the divorce decree upheld or have the vehicle put solely in her name.
They will come to you for the money if they can't find him. It will be on your credit as a repo as well. As a co-signer, you sign that you will take over payments if the signer fails to make the payments.
No. A divorce decree has no legal status when it pertains to the lender's agreement. The party that wishes to keep the vehicle will need to refinance it in their name only.
